After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 26 Youzhou (2)
The two of them walked all the way to the west chamber, and saw a place where the orchids were the most abundant, Liu Luo said: "This is Lan Gezi." He didn't take her in, but just took a look at the door from a distance, and smiled at her. Rong Yu said: "Do you think I will go in?" Rong Yu said: "Not now."

Hearing this, Liu Luo just laughed, and took her to another place. Although the Marquis' Mansion was built in the outskirts of the country, it was more prosperous and extravagant than the Prince's Mansion in Ping County. Silk, satin, pearls and jade were also Forget it, the most rare thing is that even the flowers and trees are as prosperous as those in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the phoenix tree by the wall, the bonus is as red as fire, and it is as bright as the sun. Rong Yu said: "I can't think of such a seductive flower growing in such a remote place in Youzhou."

Liu Luo smiled and said, "Do you think this phoenix tree is from Youzhou?"

Rong Yu wondered, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not," Liu Luo said, "The phoenix tree is also called the phoenix wood, also called the fire tree. It is native to the south of the Lingnan area, where the climate is hot and humid, so there can be such extremely gorgeous flowers. It is said that it can reach ten feet. It is so tall that the Phoenix wood with a life span of 300 years is called a sacred wood. It is carved as a tool, which can prosper the family and bless the descendants. My grandmother loved this tree very much during her lifetime, so this tree was transplanted from the Lingnan area. It is said that it was originally Nearly a hundred plants were transplanted, but only a few survived."

Rong Yu said: "The Marquis of Disobedience really dotes on Princess Mingyue to the extreme."

Liu Luo nodded and said: "He has nothing under his knees, so he attaches great importance to his grandmother." As for this, he said: "It is said in the books that since the disobedient Marquis came to Youzhou, he has made great business profits, and Youzhou is prosperous and not inferior to the middle land. This year is not as good as it used to be.”

Rong Yu said: "It may also be because of the war."

Liu Luo said: "If you want to talk about the war, it happened 40 years ago. These years, the border has always been relatively peaceful." Listening to his tone, Rong Yu knew everything about the border defense and the deployment of the army. It was also reduced, and I just followed Liu Luo to the Xiban Mansion of the Marquis of Disobedience, and sighed a few times about the luxury. At noon, they didn't go back to Xilin Temple, and Yu Wenyi served wine and food. The vegetarian food of Xilin Temple is not inferior.

The two of them had lunch, and in the afternoon they continued to visit Dongbanfu.The western half of the mansion is extravagant, but the eastern half of the mansion is very classical, and the styles have their origins. There is a full set of rosewood pear wood chairs, and a full set of Buddhist scriptures carved on them. The characters are as big as a bucket and as small as a fly. Awe-inspiring.Rong Yu didn't understand, he just thought it was pretty, but Liu Luo couldn't help but exclaimed, and even asked why such a good thing was abandoned.

After a while, it got dark, Liu Luo and Rong Yude arranged for Yu Wenyi to stay and rest.At night, the moonlight was bright and clear, Rong Yu got up cautiously, arranged the bed to look like someone was sleeping soundly, and held his shoes in his hands, taking advantage of the moonlight to clearly identify the direction of the West Wing, and tiptoed over. Liu Luo next door didn't move at all, so she was secretly happy, thinking about what she would see tonight.

At this moment, she didn't turn her head. If she turned her head, she would find a pair of eyes staring at her back in the night, laughing silently.

Rong Yu had been optimistic about it during the daytime. There is a cluster of buildings behind the Lane Pavilion, which is as high as the Lane Pavilion and connected by a passage, commonly known as sister buildings.Because of the close proximity, she could vaguely see the people and things in Langezi from the window—she expected that Liu Luo would definitely visit Langezi at night, but she didn't know when, it didn't matter, she had done it earlier than him.She found a corner, curled up, and waited quietly.

She didn't know how long she had waited, she was a little tired, and just about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard footsteps, the footsteps were very soft, but in the dead of night, she could hear them very clearly.She thought it was Liu Luo at first, but soon found it impossible, because there should be four or five people listening to the footsteps. Liu Luo has always been unwilling to let outsiders intervene in the secrets of the family. How can I bring three or four people to explore the secrets?Her heart tightened: Who is the person who is not Liu Luo?
The sound of footsteps passed quickly, and the night became quiet again, as if no one had been there, and there were no secrets.

After another meal, there was the sound of beating the watch outside, and it was already the fourth watch. Rong Yu's hands and feet were sore, and he felt that the night was really worthless. Suddenly, there were a few footsteps, and Rong Yu heard it clearly. It's Liu Luo!With joy in her heart, she took out the binoculars and concentrated on watching.

It was indeed Liu Luo who entered the Langezi, when he entered the door, he seemed to have glanced at where she was, and smiled, as if he knew she was there, Rong Yu couldn't help shrinking his body, and breathed lightly.

Liu Luo pushed the door and entered, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be disappointed. This room is no different from other rooms. There is a bed, three low stools, a cabinet by the bed, and a dressing table under the window. It looks like a women's boudoir. But not even a painting and a box of rouge, and nothing else that could indicate the identity of the owner.He went to the dressing table, there was nothing in the drawer, no hidden compartment, he tapped on the wall to listen, but there was no double wall, and he knocked here and there on the bed, but found nothing. He kicked over the low stool and made a dull sound. sound.Sitting on the bed, he was feeling discouraged. You must know that he was taught by his father since he was a child, and he has learned a lot. There was a secret, but they found nothing, so she couldn't help but lose confidence, she lay back, only heard a slight cracking sound, Liu Luo's eyes and ears were sensitive, and she jumped up immediately.

There was no abnormality behind him, he felt strange, and fell down again as before, and sure enough, he heard a very light, very light cracking sound, slightly hoarse, like the sound of silkworms running through mulberries in spring, Liu Luo thought in his heart: There is no double wall behind the wall, but there is no guarantee that there is nothing between the walls.So he took out a small dagger from his sleeve, and when he was about to dig the wall, he felt that it was inappropriate, thinking: I don't know whether it is my grandmother or my mother who set up this mechanism, so that's all my grandmother, the mechanism set up by my mother is poisonous and poisonous. Ruthless, this time may not be as lucky as last time to be rescued by Aunt Zhu.Therefore, he couldn't help hesitating, the dagger only drew back and forth on the wall, and suddenly saw a line of shadows, and then slashed across, those lines formed a faint and flowing picture on the dagger, he was very surprised, thinking: what is hidden in this wall Things, could they be living things?

He suppressed his thoughts, knelt on the edge of the bed, held up the dagger and traced it from the corner, most of it was blank, only a short distance from the bed would form a picture on the bright side of the dagger, he looked carefully, that It is not a picture, but some words, although crooked, but still legible, it says:

"On September 19th, [-]th year of Emperor Qing Yao, Tang Min and Liu Yi fought against Xilin Pagoda, vowing that they would never survive."

There are only 25 characters, and Liu Luo's heart was shocked when he read it like a thunderbolt. He naturally knew that the day of his grandfather's death was September 19th, [-]th year of Qing Yao Emperor. The genealogy records that his grandfather died of a sudden illness. People died in a decisive battle——who is Tang Min, why did he leave this sentence in the disobedient Hou's mansion, and who did he (she) leave it to?
——Who will he (she) leave for?
Liu Luo thought of Rong Yu's words at this moment, she stood in Lanling Palace, and said sadly: What if your mother is from the Tang Sect?if...if...

If the mother is a member of the Tang family, who is Tang Min? Does it mean that the death of the grandfather has something to do with the mother?Or the message on the wall, which was originally left for the mother?
Is the father not allowing descendants to enter this room to protect the mother, or is there some other purpose?
He didn't dare to think about the possibility that his grandfather died at the hands of his mother, he just felt that he was fooled, he was fooled, he shouldn't listen to Rong Yu's nonsense, he shouldn't be suspicious of his grandfather's death, he shouldn't It's time to put aside the affairs of the capital and come all the way to this desolate place, just to prove that - one's own origin is such a sinful thing.

Rong Yu saw that Liu Luo was busy for a long time, then pointed his dagger at the wall for a long time, and finally sat down on the bed, his face was cloudy and cloudy, as if there was a lot of sadness and a lot of anger.She didn't know what he saw, or if he didn't see anything, she was wondering, when a person walked in from outside the door suddenly, Rong Yu's eyes straightened immediately, thinking: Why is this person here?

I just heard the man say: "Everyone thinks King Ping is critically ill, and I don't want King Ping to be free in the middle of the night."

Liu Luo was originally a very alert person, but because what he saw just now was so horrifying that he didn't even notice that someone came in, when he raised his eyes and saw Qin Mi, he was startled for a moment, but immediately reacted, and replied: "I thought Qin Mi The Prime Minister is rushing to go to Jingguo to get medicine and Yin, and I don't want to be happy in Youzhou."

Qin Mi laughed and said: "Zhu's guard is the guard of your Liu family, and Xilin Temple is the Yuwen family temple. If I believe them, I will be the number one fool. If I don't believe it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Xilin Temple, so I came late One more step, please forgive me, my lord."

Liu Luo's mind was confused, but she also knew that she must have been watched by Qin Xiang for a long time. Although she didn't express her intention clearly, it is most likely that she came here for her own treasure.Immediately, he only said: "It's easy to say, it turns out that Qin Xiang saw through it early on, and Xiao Wang really admires Qin Xiang's scheming."

Qin You said: "Ping Jun Wang must have thought that I was watching for your family's treasure, then you guessed wrong."

Liu Luo sneered and said, "But I don't know why Prime Minister Qin is staring at Xiao Wang so hard?"

Qin You said: "To seek justice."

Liu Luodao: "It turns out that Prime Minister Qin is honest and loyal to the public. It is really my great fortune."

Qin Mi coughed twice, her face remained unchanged, and she said: "Pingjun Wang didn't know something, this treasure was originally acquired by several of us together, but in the end it was taken by your Liu family, and now the descendants of several families are not angry. , want to get back our share, Prince Ping——I won’t object."

Hearing this, Liu Luo was startled and Rong Yu was horrified.Liu Luoshang just wanted to think: So my Liu family's treasure was obtained from others.But Rong Yu knew: it turned out that Liu's family also had a part in plotting Chen Guobao's treasure.

She just felt that countless thunderbolts were crashing in her chest, one after another, and then another, endlessly - so it was like this.

Lin Lang's parents went back to Sichuan for the funeral, but were intercepted and killed. His father fought hard and died. His mother was rescued by Liu Yi. Because he was grateful for the life-saving grace, he gave the treasure to Liu Yi. Who knew that this interception and rescue was originally a plan in advance. good play.

——It must be that Lin Lang lived in the Liu Mansion for many years and realized the truth, so she helped King Ning at all costs in Duan Liu's battle for the throne 20 years ago, even if she was driven by the patriarch, she would never regret it.

——Does she hate Mrs. Liu so much that she doesn't even want to take a second look at her infant son?
——It’s no wonder that in the past 20 years, the imperial court has neither used troops against Jianghu, nor killed any family. No wonder Lin Lang’s book only said that the culprit must be punished but refused to say who the enemy was. King Pingjun knew.

Rong Yu only felt that the hot blood all over her body was rushing to her head, she pressed against the wall, and the wall was cold, which made her calm down gradually.

However, Liu Luo asked coldly: "... Prime Minister Qin is convincing, but he doesn't know where the evidence is? Prime Minister Qin is so righteous, but he doesn't know why he didn't bring it up before my father was alive, but did such a small thing? They say that Prime Minister Qin is a romantic man , so it is such a romantic method, Liu Luo learns!"

He spoke in one breath, with a gun and a stick, without even a beat in the middle, Rong Yu sighed eloquently, but Qin Mi, the boss, slapped him across the face, it was very loud in the quiet night, when did Liu Luo suffer such insults, his mouth Bleeding immediately.

Liu Luo didn't bother to wipe, but turned her face to the side, and even smiled, the bright red blood set off her pale face, and there was a kind of evil spirit under the moonlight.

Rong Yu thought: Why didn't he resist?Su Xinyue said that Qin You never practiced martial arts, did she lie to me?Or was Liu Luo caught in a plot?She didn't dare to move, praying in her heart that she would not be discovered.

Qin You said: "The emperor pampers you, but not everyone pampers you so much. King Pingjun should be able to see clearly when to say what and who to say."

Liu Luo slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Which prince did you take refuge in, is it King Rui?"

Qin You was taken aback, and then smiled and said: "Who said I want to seek refuge with the prince, the emperor hasn't become suspicious of me yet."

Liu Luo smiled and said: "You just want to force me to tell the whereabouts of the treasure, and then kill people to silence it. Anyway, I also reported that I was critically ill in Xilin Temple. As everyone has seen, the emperor will not disbelieve you, but if you don't take refuge in King Rui I don’t think you have the guts to do this. No matter what your reasons are, I am an envoy with you to the country of Jing and died. Based on this, even if the emperor does not kill you, you will not have a good life in the future. If you take refuge in The most important one is King Qin... King Qin is very powerful in the court, and he is too far away to reach this border, so I guess that Prime Minister Qin must have agreed to be Lord Rui's dog."

As soon as the words fell, Rong Yu was slapped hard on the face again, Rong Yu was terrified and thought: Why is he so ignorant, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are the best.

But he didn't know that Liu Luo intended to do this.

Qin You didn't get annoyed, took a step forward, and whispered in Liu Luo's ear: "Ping Jun Wang is as good as a god, only one mistake, that is, I don't need to get the whereabouts of the treasure from Ping Jun Wang's mouth." He said from Liu Luo Luo took the dagger out of his hand and shook it, "From the moment Prince Ping stepped into this place, every move is in my eyes."

He poked the dagger towards the wall, Liu Luo's face was pale, he naturally knew that Qin You would not be able to find what he wanted, but it was a secret of his Liu family after all.

The room fell silent for a while, as if it was about to explode. Although Rong Yu was not in it, she was shaking her hands with sweat. She thought in her heart: It will be dawn in a moment. If Qin You and His men have been guarding here, how can I escape.

But Liu Luohu said again: "Your Majesty Qin has achieved great ambitions, is famous all over the world, and holds a high position. He is favored by the emperor and respected by all officials, but I don't know why he is still pursuing this treasure?"

Qin Mi paused her hand, and the dagger was stuck somewhere on the wall, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Youth achieve success, you are famous all over the world...but even a singing girl who admires you can't redeem herself for 5000 taels, and is laughed at by everyone in the world." I have a bad heart...what do you want to achieve, what do you want to be called?" No one has ever asked him this question, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he blurted it out, knowing that his resentment for Su Xinyue's incident 20 years ago was actually so More importantly, he glanced at the young man, hesitated for a moment, and then thought: This man is just meat on the chopping board, whether to kill or not is only a matter of his own thoughts, and it doesn't matter if he listens to it.

Liu Luo smiled and said, "Qin Xiangyuan is a man of temperament, but I don't know what happened to that singing girl?"

Qin You was silent for a moment, and said: "A mysterious person redeemed her body, sent her to my wife's house, and married into my house together."

He doesn't love that woman in the world very much, but everyone in the capital knows that he is romantic, everyone knows that he is close to her, and everyone knows that she will put down her figure for him, turn against the madam, and abandon the world. The fame and prestige of the family, who follow thousands of miles away, will not marry unless you are a king, so everyone is waiting for them to write a legendary story about a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman—but he can’t. His family ordered him to marry Miss Xie’s family, so he was helpless and just watched. Watching himself become the biggest joke in the capital.

A big joke about a heartless person—when he was walking in the capital, almost everyone would look at him with supercilious glances and scold the person with a heartless heart.

Although the ending is happy, but in his heart it has always been a big knot, so it's fine if he doesn't mention it, but when he mentions it, he feels humiliated and sad - thanks to his self-confidence, thanks to his self-esteem, and thanks to his self-proclaimed flair!
Such profound humiliation accompanied the ups and downs of the official career for 20 years, not only did not weaken, but intensified, every time he saw that woman, he would find it unbearable - if it wasn't for her, how could he suffer such humiliation?There are so many romantic and talented people who come and go in and out of the brothel, why does she just hang on to him?If he had money, if he could be independent... 20 years ago, he only had a false name.

Even in the past 20 years, he has often suffered from Aduwu, such a big reputation, such a big ostentation, what will he use to support it?If it wasn't for the fact that he was often shy, why would he not be allowed to enter Beijing for more than ten years!

How did Liu Luo know all these inside stories, and said: "It turns out that lovers will finally get married. Congratulations, Prime Minister Qin."

Seeing that he had changed his tone completely, Qin Mi thought: He is a hereditary prince, he has never experienced hardship since he was a child, and he is obedient with just two slaps.Thinking of this, his face softened a little, but he didn't answer his words. He looked at the words on the dagger, and the words seemed to be flowing all the time, and he barely recognized them. He only saw the three words "Xilin Tower", and thought in his heart: Could it be? The treasure map is placed in Xilin Tower?Xilin Pagoda is the property under the name of Xilin Temple. Xilin Temple was originally run by the Yuwen family alone. The temple has collected all kinds of geniuses and eccentrics. Which floor is there, and what kind of secret mechanism is there? I'm afraid I have to ask this kid to know.

He was not reconciled, so he took the dagger to gesticulate again and again, and suddenly saw a word: Zishi three quarters, the thirteenth floor of the pagoda.Thinking: Could it be that the treasure map is on the No.13 floor?What's so weird about midnight?Go and see first.

He got out of bed and was about to go out, but turned to look at Liu Luo again, he was full of doubts, he didn't know if he should kill him now, or wait for the treasure to be obtained before taking action.

At this time, a person walked in from outside the door and asked, "Did you ask clearly?" momentum.

Liu Luo sized him up from one side and thought: He is from the Jianghu, only a man who licks blood with a knife can have such an aura.

Qin Youdao: "This kid has a tough mouth, he tells a lot of lies, and uses different methods to sow discord. Although I asked a few words, this kid is really hateful. Please teach Yu Xiandi a lesson."

"Brother Yu Xian" frowned slightly, probably because he was not used to speaking in such a polite way, he stepped on the bed, looked Liu Luo up and down, his eyes were fierce, Liu Luo felt like a knife was scraped across the face, sharp and gentle Ice-cold, he thought in his heart: No wonder his father kept saying that he had to go to the rivers and lakes to know what it means to be ruthless, otherwise, no matter how advanced the kung fu is, it would be just talk on paper.

"Brother Yu Xian" said: "You go out first." He spoke very peacefully, but even Qin Mi couldn't help sweating, he forced a smile and said: "I've been busy all night, I'm going to take care of things outside. "

"Brother Yu Xian" waved his hand to signal that he could go out, the door was slowly closed, Rong Yu was pale in the corner, blood was slowly oozing from his lower lip, from such a distance, she could feel the beast-like strength on that man , what will he do, is Liu Luo still alive to come out?

And it's almost dawn.
